I don't know them ... A working holdingdisk section would be: > holdingdisk hd1 { > comment "main holding disk" > directory "/home/amanda/work" > use 70Gb > chunksize 1Gb > } To use a [global]-section you have to create one: > define dumptype global { > index yes > holdingdisk yes > maxdumps 4 # <---- added the maxdumps to global ! > program "GNUTAR" > } Where did you add the maxdumps? Then you can refer to the global-dumptype in your other dumptypes: BC> define dumptype comp-user { BC> global BC> comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines" BC> options compress-fast BC> priority medium BC> } BC> define dumptype comp-root { BC> global BC> comment "Root partitions with compression" BC> options compress-fast BC> priority low BC> } Should work out. Please read a current amanda.conf and adjust your settings. It's definitely worth the effort. Seems you have a pretty old one ... -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
